            Bug ID: 412207
           Summary: kmail should have the option to block email tracking
                    images
           Product: kmail2

          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux

SUMMARY
it's possible for me to switch on 'do not download external images' in the
global settings for when i open an email, but often this leads to poorly
rendered emails.  I would like to be able to download external images within an
email but to specifically have email tracking images not downloaded/activated. 
This will mean that when/where I open an email is not noted by the 3rd party,
whilst I am still able to read correctly formatted emails. The do not track
functionality should ideally be enabled by default.

Is my request even possible?! Perhaps by only downloading images larger than
4-5 pixels - just a guess!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. it's currently standard functionality.

OBSERVED RESULT
all images including the 1px tracking image is downloaded.   

EXPECTED RESULT
All images are downloaded except if the image size is less than e.g. 4/5
pixels.
